  1. Fincher v. State

    289 Ga. App. 64 (Ga. Ct. App. 2007)   Cited 5 times

    Given these specific circumstances, it would have been within the trial court's discretion to have denied the motion for funds. See Patterson v. State, 239 Ga. 409, 412-413 (3) ( 238 SE2d 2) (1977); House v. State, 170 Ga. App. 53, 54 (2) ( 316 SE2d 36) (1984). Furthermore, Fincher's trial counsel elicited a concession from the state's ballistics expert that he was offering no opinion as to the position of the victim and Fincher at the time of the shooting, as well as a concession from the state's medical examiner that the wound pattern of the victim was equally consistent with Fincher's version of events, namely, that he and the victim were not standing face-to-face at the time of the shooting.

  2. Gatson v. State

    401 S.E.2d 71 (Ga. Ct. App. 1991)   Cited 2 times

    ]" Howell v. State, 180 Ga. App. 749, 750 (1) ( 350 S.E.2d 473) (1986). See also House v. State, 170 Ga. App. 53, 54 (1) ( 316 S.E.2d 36) (1984). 2.

  3. Davidson v. State

    183 Ga. App. 557 (Ga. Ct. App. 1987)   Cited 20 times
    In Davidson the issue was whether the trial court erred by failing to direct the child's legal custodian to allow defense counsel to conduct a pre-trial interview with the victim.

    In the absence of an appropriate showing by defendant, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court's denial of the "Motion for Psychiatric Assistance." See Jackson v. State, 180 Ga. App. 774 (1) ( 350 S.E.2d 484) (1986); Cartwright v. Maynard, 802 F.2d 1203 (I) (10th Cir. 1986); Bowden v. Kemp, supra; see generally Cargill v. State, 255 Ga. 616 (13) ( 340 S.E.2d 891) (1986); House v. State, 170 Ga. App. 53 (2) ( 316 S.E.2d 36) (1984). (b). It follows from the foregoing discussion that defendant also suffered no deprivation of effective assistance of counsel resulting from the trial court's denial of his motion.

  4. Jones v. State

    331 S.E.2d 633 (Ga. Ct. App. 1985)   Cited 6 times

    See Fudge v. State, 164 Ga. App. 392 (1) ( 297 S.E.2d 329) (1982). See also House v. State, 170 Ga. App. 53 (6) ( 316 S.E.2d 36) (1984); Simmons v. State, 164 Ga. App. 643 (3) ( 298 S.E.2d 313) (1982). 2.

  5. Truitt v. State

    331 S.E.2d 64 (Ga. Ct. App. 1985)   Cited 5 times

    Factual and credibility determinations as to voluntariness, unless clearly erroneous, made at a suppression hearing, must be accepted by appellate courts. Reid v. State, 171 Ga. App. 52 ( 318 S.E.2d 782) (1984); House v. State, 170 Ga. App. 53 ( 316 S.E.2d 36) (1984). In the instant case, the trial court's determination of voluntariness certainly was not clearly erroneous, and admission of Truitt's statement into evidence was proper.
